If it's a Famicon clone it's a modified 6502-core:

"The 6502 used in the NES was a second source version by Ricoh,
a partial system-on-a-chip, that lacked a binary-coded decimal
mode but added 22 memory-mapped registers for sound generation,
joypad reading, and sprite list DMA. Called 2A03 in NTSC
consoles and 2A07 in PAL consoles (the difference being the
clock divider ratio and a lookup table for audio sample rates),
this processor was produced exclusively for Nintendo."

At least the Famicon didn't had 64K CMOS SRAM onboard.
